Okanagan,
For a 14YO, my choice would be a 12 gauge PUMP, rather than any semi-auto for a 14YO, by ANY of the major makers of such firearms.
(Personally, I like the old reliable Remington 870 & there are LOTS of used 870 pumps around in great condition for 200-300.oo. = The last 870 with 28" VR, that I bought, was 255.oo OTD from a vendor at the SA Gun Show.)
My latest 12-gauge pump-gun is TURKISH-made & cost me 175.oo new. - It's a GREAT pump for the $$$$.
yours, tex
